Rhythmic Waters
Constant flow
Somewhere from upstream
No loud gurgle
No wild lashing at the bank
The bank
Not wanting to,
But holding ground
Comfortable silence
All around
You sit ashore
Enjoying the harmony
Your silken calves
Lending a sparkle
To the rhythmic waters
You are lulled
Lulled into believing
“What bliss!
Heavenly bliss!”
Soaking the quiet ambience.
But is this your 'Desire'?
Is this what you want?
Didn’t you want
The torrent
To sweep you away
Away to……….
Another world,
Another land,
Another life……..
But the waters continue
Lapping against your ankles
The lullaby continues.
